My company uses AdAware SE Enterprise from Lavasoft. We got an update from them and I installed it according to their instructions. The install was supposed to copy the settings from the old to the new. It did not. No big deal, I will do it manually; it's just a few folders and files.
So I do it. And between the time the copy finishes and I open the control program (perhaps a minute) the files that I replaced are back in the folder and my updates are gone. So I am thinking it is Friday afternoon, the end of a busy week. Maybe I am just getting confused with folder names and filenames and such. Let it sit until Monday. So it's Monday now and I very carefully set up all the files in a folder, double-check the shortcut, and run the program. It works but there are a few things I need to change. So I open the settings file (it's just text in an XML costume) and I make the very, very minor changes. Then I open the program to see how my changes look and they are not there. The settings file reverted. I did this several times always with the same result. Anyone have any ideas about this? The platform is Win2K Server SP4, fully updated. I have seen this happen before but it was XP and it was windows system files. Some process keeps track of critical files and replaces them with copies from the I386 folder if they appear to be changed. Help! HALinNY P.S. My favorite color is PMS 354. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
